Hey, I’m Kim!
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist
I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Global Ethical Change at the University of Alabama in 2000. This interdisciplinary degree helped me learn how to create large scale social change. After a few years, I realized that while I enjoyed the macro side, I wanted to be able to help individuals make changes in the same way I had learned to work with larger systems. I returned to school and completed my Master’s in Social Work in 2007 with a specialization in child welfare. Post graduation I worked in Child Protective Services while also supporting women transitioning out of prison and back into society. I obtained my clinical license in Georgia in 2014 and, after moving up to Maryland, became licensed here as well in 2016. I founded Circumference Counseling the same year and entered private practice.
Specializing in trauma treatment protocols, I completed training in EMDR in 2016. After meeting multiple people struggling with out of control sexual behaviors in my practice, I began to explore the connections between childhood trauma and this particular addiction. I quickly realized this was a very specialized field that required rigorous training to effectively treat and began my journey to obtain my Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) in 2017. While I obtained my CSAT in January of 2019, I continue to seek out learning and supervision opportunities in this growing and changing field to help me provide cutting edge treatment to my clients.

My Approach & Values
I have an eclectic background with a primary focus on treatment of trauma and sex addiction. I believe your therapist should challenge you to push past your comfort zone in a safe and trusting environment. I can teach you the skills you need to explore your emotions without being overwhelmed as you work toward creating real and lasting change in your life.
I find that trauma-informed, CBT techniques grounded in attachment theory are a good fit for most of my clients. I specialize in EMDR, a therapy technique to help process difficult or traumatic events and I have advanced training in treating dissociative disorders. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and have experience working with both addicts and partners.
